Joint remote state preparation via W and W-type states

New protocols for joint remote preparation of single- and two-qubit states using W and W-type states as the quantum channel are proposed. It is shown that, independent of entanglement degree of the shared quantum channel, the protocols succeed with any unequipped receiver by superior's judicious splitting of the information identifying the state to be prepared.     

Teleportation of an arbitrary three—particle state

We propose two schemes for teleporting an arbitrary three-particle state.In the first scheme,a two-particle state and a three-particle entangled state (both non-maximally entangled states)are used as quantum channels,while in the second scheme,three non-mnaximally entangled particle pairs are employed as quantum channels.We show that teleportation can be successfully realized with certain probability if a receiver adopts some appropriate unitary transformations.Their success probabilities and the classical communication costs are different.     

Remote preparation of a Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger state via a two-particle entangled state

We present two schemes for realizing the remote preparation of a Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger (GHZ) state. The first scheme is to remotely prepare a general N-particle GHZ state with two steps. One is to prepare a qubit state by using finite classical bits from sender to receiver via a two-particle entangled state, and the other is that the receiver introduces N - 1 additional particles and performs N - 1 controlled-not (C-Not) operations. The second scheme is to remotely prepare an N-atom GHZ state via a two-atom entangled state in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). The two schemes require only a two-particle entangled state used as a quantum channel, so we reduce the requirement for entanglement.     

Several teleportation schemes of an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state via different quantum channels

We first provide four new schemes for two-party quantum teleportation of an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state by using three-, four-, and five-particle states as the quantum channel, respectively. The successful probability and fidelity of the four schemes reach 1. In the first two schemes, the receiver can only apply one of the unitary transformations to reconstruct the original state, making it easier for these two schemes to be directly realized. In the third and fourth schemes, the sender can preform Bell-state measurements instead of multipartite entanglement measurements of the existing similar schemes, which makes real experiments more suitable. It is found that the last three schemes may become tripartite controlled teleportation schemes of teleporting an arbitrary multi-particle state after a simple modification. Finally, we present a new scheme for three-party sharing an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state. In this scheme, the sender first shares three three-particle GHZ states with two agents. After setting up the secure quantum channel, an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state can be perfectly teleported if the sender performs three Bell-state measurements, and either of two receivers operates an appropriate unitary transformation to obtain the original state with the help of other receiver's three single-particle measurements. The successful probability and fidelity of this scheme also reach 1. It is demonstrated that this scheme can be generalized easily to the case of sharing an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state among several agents.

Usefulness of multiqubit W-type states in quantum information processing

We analyze the efficiency of multiqubit W-type states as resources for quantum information. For this, we identify and generalize four-qubit W-type states. Our results show that these states can be used as resources for deterministic quantum information processing. The utility of results, however, is limited by the availability of experimental setups to perform and distinguish multiqubit measurements. We therefore emphasize protocols where two users want to establish an optimal bipartite entanglement using the partially entangled W-type states. We find that for such practical purposes, four-qubit W-type states can be a better resource in comparison to three-qubit W-type states. For a dense coding protocol, our states can be used deterministically to send two bits of classical message by locally manipulating a single qubit. In addition, we also propose a realistic experimental method to prepare the four-qubit W-type states using standard unitary operations and weak measurements.     

Teleportation of an arbitrary two-qudit state based on the non-maximally four-qudit cluster state

Two different schemes are presented for quantum teleportation of an arbitrary two-qudit state using a non-maximally four-qudit cluster state as the quantum channel. The first scheme is based on the Bell-basis measurements and the receiver may probabilistically reconstruct the original state by performing proper transformation on her particles and an auxiliary two-level particle; the second scheme is based on the generalized Bell-basis measurements and the probability of successfully teleporting the unknown state depends on those measurements which are adjusted by Alice. A comparison of the two schemes shows that the latter has a smaller probability than that of the former and contrary to the former, the channel information and auxiliary qubit are not necessary for the receiver in the latter.

Schemes for Probabilistic Teleportation of an Unknown Three-Particle Three-Level Entangled State

In this paper, two schemes for teleporting an unknown three-particle three-level entangled state are proposed. In the first scheme, two partial three-particle three-level entangled states are used as the quantum channels, while in the second scheme, three two-particle three-level non-maximally entangled states are employed as quantum channels. It is shown that the teleportation can be successfully realized with certain probability, for both two schemes, if a receiver adopts some appropriate unitary transformations. It is shown also that the successful probabilities of these two schemes are different.     

Faithful Controlled Teleportation of an Arbitrary Unknown Two-Atom State via Special W-States and QED Cavity

A scheme is proposed for the controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-atom state via special W-type entangled states and QED cavity. The scheme does not involve the direct joint Bell-state-measurement （BSM）. We show that the quantum information is split into two parts~ thus the original atomic state cannot be perfectly restored by the receiver without the other agent＇s collaboration and classical communication. In addition, the physical realization of this scheme is not difficult.

It is shown that the teleportation can be successfully realized with certain probability, for both schemes, if a receiver adopts some appropriate unitary transformations. It is also shown that the successful probabilities of these two schemes are different.

Two Schemes for Probabilistic Remote Preparation of a Four-Particle Entangled Cluster-Type State

Using partial entangled states as the quantum channel, two schemes for probabilistic remote preparation of the four-particle cluster-type state with real and complex coefficients are presented. In the first scheme, the sender and the receiver share two partial Bell states and one partial three-qubit GHZ stats as the quantum channel, and the sender can help a remote receiver to prepare a four-particle entangled cluster-type state by using three-qubit projective measurements with certain probability. In the second scheme, the quantum channel is composed of two partial three-qubit GHZ states, the remote state preparation （RSP） can be successfully realized via the positive operator valued measure （POVM）, and the two-particle projective measurements are also needed in this process. The total success probability and classical communication cost are calculated.     

Deterministic Joint Remote Preparation of an Arbitrary Two-Qubit State Using the Cluster State

Recently, deterministic joint remote state preparation (JRSP) schemes have been proposed to achieve 100% success probability. In this paper, we propose a new version of deterministic JRSP scheme of an arbitrary two-qubit state by using the six-qubit cluster state as shared quantum resource. Compared with previous schemes, our scheme has high efficiency since less quantum resource is required, some additional unitary operations and measurements are unnecessary. We point out that the existing two types of deterministic JRSP schemes based on GHZ states and EPR pairs are equivalent.     

Generation of remote W-type entangled state via tripartite entanglement swapping of continuous variables

We propose a scheme for generating remote W-type entangled state via tripartite entanglement swapping of continuous variables, where two EPR pairs and a local W-type entangled state are required. Because of the co-existence of both bipartite and tripartite entanglement in a W-type entangled state, the three involved remote regions, without direct interaction, will become entangled after the prescribed entanglement swapping.     

Deterministic joint remote preparation of arbitrary multi-qudit states

In this Letter, we put forward a new nontrivial three-step strategy for joint remote preparation of arbitrary two-qudit states (JRSP) in a deterministic manner from a spatially separated multi-sender to one receiver. The scheme is then extended to the arbitrary multi-qudit case. In our schemes, various partially entangled GHZ-like states with arbitrary complex parameters are used as the quantum channels. It overcomes state preparation failure leading to the loss of valuable quantum channel resource and ensures the prepared data available for the remote terminals under extreme conditions such as limited number of quantum channels and limited quantum information processing technologies.
